Faculty/staff computers

The name of faculty and staff computers begin with their Gustavus username followed by a dash and a number. The number is the first available number based on the number of network devices the user has registered.

example: jsmith-3

Student machines

The name of a student machine depends on if it was registered to use a static or dynamic IP address. Dynamic IP addresses are more typical with a wireless registration so that the computer retains a connection. All ethernet registrations utilize a static IP address, and thus conform to the convention format of Username-#of device

Special purpose computers

Other computers on campus have a special 9-character code which helps to quickly identify their location and purpose.
